@Matt Charette a good place to start your networking would be the Black Diamond meetups hosted by @Ann Bellamy - they have a Worcester meetup (and a Waltham one) where you might be able to find some new friends to help you navigate this deal.

(I'm not an attorney so I'm just raising an issue you may want to discuss with an actual attorney, but you may find this series of videos on wholesaling which was made by an attorney in Ohio to possibly be applicable to your situation.)In general I'm much more in favor of spending time to build relationships with a smaller number of buyers you've met with a few times and vetted a bit, instead of doing a mass mailing campaign - the "rifle" approach rather than the "shotgun".If you decide that's something you want to investigate, you could contact active people here on BP and/or go to your local real estate investment group such as RIREIG in RI or Black Diamond REI in Mass to start building relationships.Good luck and let us know how it turns out of course!

There are good "gurus" but its tough to find that diamond . 

In any  markets you need to look for that diamond in the rough value add property.

Jason White technically Diamond Bar, CA.

Sometimes you can find a diamond in the rough that everyone else passed on. 

@Diamond Sandy It depends on your personality.

I would not take 2 to 3 international vacations a year if it had to 1. go coach  just would not subject myself to 12 to 20 hours in those seats.. 2. had to pay the going rate these days for my wife and I which is 5 to 15k per ticket.. 3. add in Hilton points and being a diamond I always get upgraded to a suite.. so free suite that would cost 400 to 1000 a night.. with these two perks I can take 2 week really cool international vacations 3 times a year and all for free. that's the value to me personally.. 

I also second the video comment above. if the unit is abandoned your local laws may state that you have to store any items left behind for a period of time. your video is proof that the unit is empty and they did not leave behind their "expensive family diamond collection" which they would sue you for if you have no proof.Once you have new renters in there, document the days you lost rent and take them to small claims (if the amount is low enough). once you get a judgement you can try to collect from there.
